Travel Tips for 2021

28 Dec 2020

With most 2020 travel plans put on the back burner, 2021 may be a welcomed opportunity to jet-set. Here’s a few tips on how to do so safely and efficiently – just in case you’re feeling a little out of practice!

Stay hydrated – increased altitude and busy schedules dehydrate us. Keep a water bottle handy at all times.
Wipe surfaces – carry wipes to give your seat, tray table, head rest and arm rests a good wipe before settling in.
Wear compression socks – these will reduce swelling and increase blood circulation during long journeys.
Keep a pen in every bag – you’ll likely find yourself needing to fill out forms or take down notes/directions at some point.
Travel carry-on whenever possible – travelling with just a carry-on means your luggage can’t get lost or damaged and saves you time once you land.
Take copies of your ID, passport, credit cards – should you lose anything important, having a copy will at least help you track it down or get home safely.
Register your trip – If you’re a Canadian, register your travel details with the Canadian Government. If anything happens, the embassy will be required to help get you home. Register here.
Be conscious of your belongings – Keep money and ID in front of your body in zipped pockets. There’s no need to make yourself a target for theft.

I hope 2021 brings us all a little more travel than the past year. Wherever you venture, I wish you many happy memories and pleasant experiences. Bon voyage!
